Blind Assessment

Floral, sweet, high-toned and as giddy as a field of flowers, with some pungent richness and substance underneath. Ramps down toward clean cocoa tones in the finish.

Notes

Floral, sweet, high-toned and as giddy as a field of flowers, with some pungent richness and substance underneath. Ramps down toward clean cocoa tones in the finish. Moka-Java, the world 's oldest blend, traditionally combines wild, winy Yemen coffee with a deeper-toned Java, but Ethiopia coffees are often substituted for the Yemen, as they have been here. Sold whole-bean in a nitrogen-flushed fiberboard can. Cost per

Who Should Drink It

Trader Joe 's targets the budget gourmet, and this coffee, inexpensive yet glisteningly aromatic and full of idiosyncrasy and character, certainly supports Joe 's business plan. However, neither Javas nor Ethiopia Mokas are consistent coffees, so you may have to buy now to taste what I tasted.
